Mod List:
Matte Black Kidney Grill



It has been three years already since I first received my key to this gorgeous E90 LCI 335i. Words can't describe how excited I was, how thrilled I was coming back home from the dealership. As soon as I got home, first thing I did was black out the front grills, and yes I chipped my front bumper while taking the grills out...OUCH!! But man Matte Black kidney grill looked so sick...and things started happen. I have been a long time lurker on e90post, and admired so many sick bimmers...to pick one "M3THIS" was what made me choose Alpine White, I even PM'd him about stuffs he did to his car...when I found out how much he spent on his car I was like I was keep telling myself...matte black kidney will do....it will do...screw it! Modding has begun
First, I needed a shop to take my car in for works, I was searching through E90post.com and found a man name Long Tran. He wasn't a shop, a guy working out of his garage, hmm interesting. I searched and read alot about him, how he helps out the e90 community with his skills and creativity. After going through few thread I decided to PM him. My first visit was to get VMR V710 & Toyo T1R....with fake HRE caps Since then I built great relationship with Long Tran, now he is one of the most reputable BMW shop in Southen California, LT BMW.

So here I am after three years of owning this bimmer that I want to share with everyone here on E90Post.

I notice that you have a lot of OEM M3 parts, why didn't you get an M3 in the first place?

This car is definatly awesome. I would be interested to know how much money you have invested into this E90. Also with all the M3 parts installed wouldn't it have been cheaper to just buy an M3?

Either way we all do what we want to our cars and I want to say this ride is top notch!

LTBMW FTW!!!
